Allan McGregor: Another three goals conceded but very little he could do about any of them. Dowell’s first two were far two precise and then the penalty kick sent him the wrong way. Denied Dowell a fourth when saving with his legs. 6

Ola Aina: Forest did not find too much joy coming down either flank and Aina’s industry played its part. A steady enough performance to build on his improved effort at Barnsley. Others were far more culpable in City’s downfall. 6

Michael Dawson: Not an enjoyable evening against his former club by any stretch of the imagination. Lack of pace exposed at times and he was one of several defenders backing off for the opener. Now one yellow away from a ban. 5

Michael Hector: Netted his first goal for the Tigers with a thumping finish two minutes from time but it counted for little in a defeat. No faulting his commitment to a losing cause, even if City’s defensive line seldom looked assured. 6

Max Clark: Not an easy night when playing behind Grosicki and often left exposed as City pushed for a route back into the game after the break. Picked up a yellow card but never let his head drop in trying circumstances. 6

Hull City v Nottingham Forest

David Meyler: Recalled after suspension but served up a poor performance in central midfield. Too many errors and lured into a foul that gave Forest a penalty and a decisive third. Well below the standards he has set himself. 5

Seb Larsson: Sold Meyler down the river with an awful pass in the build-up to Forest’s penalty and that summed up a performance littered with errors. The Swede was nowhere near his best and looked spent long before the end. 5

Jarrod Bowen (starman): The one bright point in a bleak performance from City. Always a nuisance for Forest when driving at defenders and he scored the best goal of the evening when curling in from 20 yards out. Eight for the season now. 7

Markus Henriksen: A surprise inclusion in the number 10 role and failed to justify the faith of his manager with a sloppy effort. Struggled to make any impact on the game and his withdrawal at half-time brought jeers from supporters. 4

Kamil Grosicki: Never came close to his full potential and could have few complaints when hooked at the interval. Missed the best chance of the first half when blocked by Worrall but his work-rate off the ball was not up to scratch. 4

Fraizer Campbell: Twice came close when denied by Cummings clearing header on the line and Smith’s unconvincing save but this was not his evening. Played deeper once Dicko came on but there was little understanding as a partnership. 6
